Benjamin Franklin didn't attend college...(or is it collage nya?) The educational background of the Founding Fathers was diverse. Some, like Franklin, were largely self-taught and had received scant formal training. Others had obtained instruction from private tutors or at academies. About half of the individuals had at tended or graduated from college in the British North American colonies or abroad. Some men held advanced and honorary degrees. For the most part, the delegates were a well-educated group.

Andrew Jackson was the first president to not go to college. Many believe that it is Washington, but he did go to the College of William and Mary and received a surveyor's license.
